SPONSORSHIP REPORT FOR EVENT HIGHLIGHTS $564,426 raised! Thanks to your support and that of other corporate and community partners, the 2019 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala raised an impressive $564,426 on March 16. More than 750 guests gathered to support S.U.C.C.E.S.S. programs and services that receive partial or no government funding. This year, the gala focused on raising funds for services that benefit children and youth in the community. Vancouver-born-and-raised singer and actor Joyce Cheng specially flew from Hong Kong to join the event as its feature performer. Joyce’s return to Vancouver was particularly meaningful as she paid tribute to the legacy left by her mother, the late Lydia Shum, who was a much beloved Hong Kong entertainer and longtime supporter of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Thank you for making the 2019 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala a night to remember! You are making a remarkable difference in the lives of the 61,000 clients who rely on us each year.

Multicultural Early Childhood Development Program Below: Yuki Tao (second from left) with Gordon and Braydon, and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. staff member Ada Sin at the 2019 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala Mother finds much-needed support and connections through the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Multicultural Early Childhood Development Program Yuki Tao and her twin boys Gordon and Braydon Zhou came to Canada from China in March 2018. When they first arrived, Yuki felt very lost and helpless. With language as a barrier, it was difficult for the family to get settled and integrate into the community. At an acquaintance’s suggestion, Yuki went to S.U.C.C.E.S.S.’s office in Coquitlam, where she lives, for support. It was there that she learned about the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Multicultural Early Childhood Development (MECD) Program, which Yuki says changed her and her boys’ lives. MECD is designed to help new immigrant parents and their children living in the Tri-Cities. Parents bond with their children by engaging in activities like song and play, and make friends with other families in the community. The program also arranges visits from health-care professionals to ensure the healthy development of children. “I didn’t know about the importance of oral hygiene for young children until my boys were seen by a dental hygienist through MECD,” says Yuki. “The MECD has helped us with so much. I really don’t know how we could have met so many friends and familiarize ourselves with the community if it wasn’t for MECD.” Your sponsorship of the 2019 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala enables MECD to continue to be there for families and meet growing demands from the community. Thank you for caring for families like Yuki’s and helping them to receive the support they need.

Your support allows S.U.C.C.E.S.S. to continue to offer a wide breadth of social services and programs that touch all age segments and benefit diverse groups – newcomers, seniors, children, women and youth – in our community.

    Contemporary Conceptualisations of the Tomboy Identity in Lesbian Communities in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan

    Sketching out the Tomboy: Contemporary Conceptualisations of the Tomboy Identity in Lesbian Communities in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan Carman Ka Man Fung 0000-0002-3872-2565 Doctor of Philosophy April 2021 Screen and Cultural StuDies, School of Culture and Communication, Faculty of Arts Submitted in total fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2 Abstract This thesis examines the conceptualisations, uses, and politics of the lesbian secondary gender1 “tomboy” within lesbian communities in China (PRC), Hong Kong, and Taiwan during the late 2010s. The term tomboy has been widely used by queer women in these communities to describe masculine lesbian expressions, fashion, and/or gender role for over four decades.2 Screen representations of tomboy originating from within the Chinese-speaking world and from neighbouring Asian regions were particularly popular among these women during the late 2000s and early 2010s. And yet, since the 1990s3 and increasingly today, a growing section of these communities has been calling for a collective rejection of tomboy, claiming that it reinforces conservative patriarchal and heteronormative values and is therefore anti-feminist. This thesis draws on life stories from those caught between the once-popular use of tomboy and their newfound anti-tomboy feminist sensibilities. It explores the stories of the many women who decided to abandon their tomboy identity in search of their real gender, women who turn to American queer media in hopes of finding true feminist lesbian representations, those who struggle with whether to identify as tomboy or not, and those who in the process of self-searching no longer see themselves as lesbians or women at all.

It is my great pleasure to introduce the 2015 ENAR Spring Meeting to be held at the Hyatt Regency Miami, in Miami, FL, from March 15-18. The ENAR Spring Meeting brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, connected through a common interest in Biom- etry. It offers a unique opportunity for learning new exciting methods and software, hearing about interesting and impactful applications, meeting new people (including prospective employers and job candidates), reconnecting with friends, and, this year, getting a break from the cold and snowy winter. The ENAR Spring Meeting only hap- pens through the diligent work of a large number of people who organize and contrib- ute to the program, plan and oversee the meeting logistics, and help with sponsorship – my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. Scientific Program: Through the leadership of Program Chair Mithat Gönen, of Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, and Associate Chair Brisa Sánchez, of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and with contributions from many of you, the Program Committee (with representatives from different ASA sections) has created an outstanding invited program. The sessions cover a wide range of topics of great interest to both researchers and practitioners, such as, data sciences (big data), genomics, clinical trials, neuroimaging, biomarkers, health policy, electronic health records, ecology, and epidemiol- ogy.

    Executive summary AIDS Concern is the first non-government charity organization committed to the service of AIDS care and established in 1990. The organization aims at stopping the spread of HIV and improving the living standards for people living with HIV. As a well established organization founded 29 years ago, AIDS Concern has built a huge network in the community with its experience in partnership with a variety of organization and companies. Meanwhile, there is low engagement rate and participation rate of AIDS Concern social media platforms and activities respectively. Moreover, many local people still hold a conservative attitude towards sex-related topics. With the limited support from the government and schools, AIDS Concern faces difficulty in delivering AIDS-related information to the local youths. The report begins with situation analysis, including background of AIDS Concern, SWOT analysis, competitors analysis and stakeholders analysis. In order to better understand the target audience’s awareness of AIDS and preference of AIDS-related promotion, an in-depth interview was conducted. Based on the research results, a problem and opportunities statement was developed. It is followed by the campaign theme (AIDSpedia), goals, and objectives as well as the target audience profiles. The campaign plan is explained with tactics, media plan, timeline, budget plan, evaluation and contingency plan. 1 Table of contents Executive summary P. 1 Situation analysis P. 3 -14 Research and discussion P. 15 - 20 Problem and opportunity statement P. 21 ​ ​ Campaign themes, goals, & objectives P. 22 ​ ​ Target audience profiles P. 23 - 24 ​ ​ Strategies P. 25 - 26 Creative tactics and executions P. 27 - 40 Media plan P.
